Thirty years of artist signed Hamptons International Film Festival posters
HAMPTONS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
Rare complete collection of artist-designed posters for the Hamptons International Film Festival, many signed. Each year, the poster for the Hamptons International Film Festival is designed by a local artist who is oftentimes internationally renowned. Some of the posters are signed by the artists and are made available for sale. This is a rare complete set of all of the posters during the thirty year period from the inception of the festival in 1993 through 2023. Sizes vary; each framed to match. The largest frame is approximately 43 x 29 inches and the smallest 28 x 20 inches. Visibly fine, none examined out of frames.
The Hamptons International Film Festival is one of the best in the world, drawing top filmmakers for over three decades. The posters commissioned each year to represent the festival by major artists such as Cindy Sherman and Eric Fishl are thought provoking and collectible in their own right. The signed examples of these posters are now rare and hard to acquire; compiling a complete collection such as the present with the signed as well as unsigned examples would be quite difficult. In this collection, the signed examples include those by Cindy Sherman, Donald Sultan, Eric Fischl, David Salle, Dan Rizzie, Donald Baechler, Bruce Weber, Elizabeth Peyton, Cecily Brown, Ross Bleckner and others. The unsigned posters include Lee Krasner (d. 1984), Barbara Kruger, Julian Schnabel and others. The lot 31 frames.
